About Us
At Youngwood Eye Care, we believe vision care is about far more than a pair of glasses or a prescription. Eyes are windows to the world, capturing memories and immersing us in moments. Vision is a precious gift that we are passionate about improving in every way.
Youngwood Eye Care is committed to providing a comprehensive assessment of your eyes— taking into consideration your overall health and well-being. That means we ask questions about you: your health history and concerns, your vision needs, your daily activities and hobbies, and your long-term vision goals. This allows us to become advocates of your lifestyle needs and the doctors will make necessary recommendations to maintain healthy vision.
